<br/><br/> The “Overpark” neologism identifies a green area built from scratch above a pre-existing urban function.<br/>In the context of an urgent need for permeable soil and vegetation for our cities, it is faster to act by addition rather than by substitution.<br/>In a city that create mezzanines inside its buildings, creating hanging public gardens is our urban regeneration strategy.<br/>We applied the architectural concept of the Overpark in the context of Piazzale Loreto.<br/>Piazzale Loreto is the gateway to Milan; some of the most fast-moving parts of the city gravitate around it.
